Factors such as unsafe sex, multiple sex partner, dental procedure, and family with human immunodeficiency virus or hepatitis, provide health care for human immunodeficiency virus\u2013infected or hepatitis patients, donor type, and educational level were significantly associated with transmission-transmittable infections. Thus, health promotion about prevention and control transmission-transmittable infections should be given to the community by considering the identified risk factors. Each of the blood banks and regional health bureaus in the study area should mobilize community for increasing repeated voluntary donors through promotion of blood bank activity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/2050312119834468","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,26]],"date-time":"2019-02-26T01:45:49Z","timestamp":1551145549000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Sero-prevalence of transfusion-transmittable infections and associated factors among blood donors in Eastern Ethiopia: an Institutional-based cross-sectional study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Ibrahim","family":"Heyredin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Saint Peter\u2019s Specialized Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bezatu","family":"Mengistie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Health and Medical Sciences, Haramaya University, Harar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7867-1483","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fitsum","family":"Weldegebreal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Health and Medical Sciences, Haramaya University, Harar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,25]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"bibr1-2050312119834468","first-page":"7","volume":"6","author":"Mourouguessine DV","journal-title":"Nat J Lab Med"},{"key":"bibr2-2050312119834468","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1479-5876-10-176"},{"issue":"2","key":"bibr3-2050312119834468","first-page":"44","volume":"1","author":"Gebregziabher H","year":"2017","journal-title":"Am J Artif Intell"},{"key":"bibr4-2050312119834468","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13104-017-2733-3"},{"issue":"4","key":"bibr5-2050312119834468","first-page":"EC21","volume":"11","author":"Sehgal S","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Clin Diagn Res"},{"key":"bibr6-2050312119834468","unstructured":"Bartonjo G.
